Charleston Tragedy Prayers go out to the families and colleagues of these brave firefighters -- and to the people of Charleston. At least nine firefighters re dead in a blaze that swept through a Charleston, S. Riley said early Tuesday, according to the Associated Press. Onlookers were hit with flying ash.

Our brave troops will still be fighting in Afghanistan this September even if the magnetic ribbon support decals on Toronto Fire trucks and ambulances won't be.
The reason? It depends on who you talk to. And there are lots of contradictions. Some say it is because it was not brought to council for proper approval, others say protocol was not followed. Another reason given is it was a one-year project.
But many City Hall sources tell me it has everything to do with some complaints from a few anti-war citizens who have the ear of some leftist councillors -- and felt the ribbons were in support of the war in Afghanistan and not just in support of the troops.
